Hmm.. how about adding this XTerm*termname: xterm-color stuff to a default Xresources file in /usr/share/skel/, or to some default Xresources file in the X directory tree itself? (I haven't messed with X resources too much, guess it shows ;) This would break xterms running on monochrome monitors

The new improved ncurses version of the color ls stuff doesn't display for me if I am in a "normal" xterm. If I set TERM equal to xterm-color I'm back in business. Is this expected behavior? If so, a note to that effect in the man page would help reduce user confusion. I'll be happy to sub
